      I studied biochem at uni and was especially interested in the evolutionary side of things, so maybe I see these creations in a similar way to you
      They do look very organic, don't they?
      And it makes you wonder like... are we/our cells just machines in the same way, mechanically responding to stimuli as a direct result of it being applied, like the movements of these strandbeests under the influence of the wind?
      I get a similar vibe from watching these strandbeests as when I see videos of bdelloid rotifers eating other microorganisms, with all their lil cillia waving about...
      But thats a very mechanistic way of looking at it.

    it is pretty incredible to think these mechanical thing have that much autonomy. They eat air and digest it into energy for their movement on their own. If they could be programmed to adapt their movement to look for more wind they would actually be equal to celular life forms at a giant scale (minus the ability to reproduce)

    • @alien4053
      @alien4053 8 ปีที่แล้ว +84

      They don't "eat air" and cannot be programmed. Its just a collection of linkages that are moved by air pressure. It's that simple.
      Having said that...coming up with design for those linkage systems requires a genius!

    • @hervederinel262
      @hervederinel262 8 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      Alien I know they don't really eat air as "eating" but they still fill bottles (stocking energy) and redestribute it as movement which is really the same as digesting food.
      A car "eats and digest" gas. It's very primitive though.
      As for programming, well you could theorically mechanically program them to orient themselves in the optimal position to catch wind.

      You are referring to The Difference Engine designed by Charles Babbage in the early 1800's. If he had stopped trying to perfect the design and had let his technicians tinker with the mechanism so that all the moving parts worked correctly, we would have had entirely-mechanical computers in the 1830's. They would have been enormous compared to electronic computers, but they would have worked.

      We aren't so very different. Von Neumann machines replicate themselves from available material, take in energy and display activity. Von Neumann modeled the idea for these machines on biological organisms. We are biological, carbon based Von Neumann machines. A very early episode of Dr Who proposed the idea of a metal based organism which used magnetism to store and use energy, a metallic, magnetodynamic Von Neumann machine if you like.
